Exhibit: Interactive Wall Piano
Venue: Shania Twain Centre
Location: Timmins, Ontario, Canada
Date: June, 2001
Client: Lord Cultural Resources
Contributors: Mystus (active components), Lord (housing, installation, coordination)

Visitor Experience: The visitor touches one of the large notes mounted on the wall and hears a note on a grand piano. This is part of a room full of instruments that the visitor can use.

Client Requirements: A proximity sensing of an array of notes on a large musical staff that when touched played the corresponding note on a piano.

Mystus Expertise: Mystus used a MIDI based synthesizer system for playback of the notes. Custom Mystus electronics and microprocessor technology converted the sensor information into control codes for the audio player.

*Project Challenges: Proximity sensing is a finicky business and subject to easy interference. Against these odds, Mystus developed a design that implemented the desired visitor interaction.
